Amid outbreak, depleted Ravens surprisingly hang tough before falling

One of the biggest COVID-19 outbreaks left the Baltimore Ravens without nine starters, seven Pro Bowl players and the reigning NFL MVP.

But the Ravens showed their decimated roster still had an unwavering amount of resolve.

Baltimore surprisingly kept it close with the NFL's only undefeated team Wednesday night before falling to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 19-14, at Heinz Field.

The defense put the Ravens in position for the upset with three defiant stops in the red zone. But the offense couldn't get enough out of the passing game with a hobbled Robert Griffin III to pull off the win.
